Huh. That has to be like a bug, right? What's even the point of a daily cycle if you can just do all the tedious exploring at the end of the day with no repercussions?

...

Serious question though, where do you get a map of the city?

You get a map of the city on the second floor of the bookshop, on the corkboard. And exploration not taking time is good imo, you're there to talk to people, not try to plan out the most efficient routes to x/y/z

I only got a bit of that - the 2mm hole which I suspected had something to do with the memory loss. I didn't say that was the cause of the memory loss at the end, though. I evicted those kids from their tent in good boring cop fashion.

Also, that Dei chick sounded creepy as hell.


I did try and float the hole in the world as the cause of memory loss, but the precinct shoots it down. Apparently Harry has done this sort of thing before, to a lesser extent, leading to the conclusion that he was taking practice runs at exactly how hard he'd need to party to turn himself into a blank slate and forget all the pain.

Yeah, the thing is everyone lays it out for you. Your ex left you because you caught the Sad working your job for so long, and started to lose your poo poo a little. This is well before the hole, well before the drinking, it's just you. Big Sad. And the junior member of your task force says you've that you've had blanks before, just not to this extent. The problem with Harry is he's a cop and he's good at it and that hurts. Whatever paranormal connection you may have to the wider reality may or not influence your Sad, and your girlfriend leaving you in a fairly brutal manner [There's references to past abortions she's gotten because they were too poor to start a family, the fact that Harry only got the job and worked so hard for a promotion for her, and that she's currently pregnant with someone else's child when she leaves. It's....not the best.], but mostly you are just Sad. Ultimately Harry lost his memory because he wanted to lose his memory.

God help me but so far I've been only good about not save scumming except for Visual Calculus (because the graphics and everything for it is so insane and hilariously weird), but I just refused to give Cuno the gram, told him the truth about his dad, and tried to give him a push in the right direction after breaking through with him last time. I kinda want to save scum because I feel terrible thinking there's a better result for him that I failed to achieve. The writing and people are just incredible, they've turned me into a paternalistic liberal :negative:

Thankfully, there's replays, of which there is going to be many

Apocalypse Cop high Physical Instrument ending spoilers. So at the end when I asked about myself I found out that I was a Gym Teacher before I joined the force, which apparently explained all the FALN tracksuit stuff I was getting, how I could do a 360 spin kick, and a bunch of other crazy physical feats I did, and how I could run everywhere. When asking about my Ex I found out she wasn't my wife, there was no mention of her being pregnant or being why I worked for a promotion or anything. They basically said she was unbelievably beautiful and then she did me wrong, left me in a bad way and that caused me to start to kind of give up on life and start drinking. So for my character it seems like he didn't start falling apart until she left me.

Oh no, in the final dream you confront the moment she broke up with you, and if you go through all the choices you learn a lot about their relationship. You also learn some of it from your badge and the thoughts you collect and other poo poo too. She just increased a process that was already going on [For instance, you were talking to aspects of your personality well before the drinking]. Everyone gets the gym teacher part, your stats and actions just influence what they talk about. For instance, Kim says it's the reason I'm good with kids.

Known throughout the world! Chop people's head off to the ground! Angry eyes that frighten people! Dragon among humans, king of dragons... Manchurian Derp Deity, Ha Che'er.
I think I finially isolated my issue and did a proper bug report. Completing the thought "The Insulindian Miracle" (re-enable all white checks) breaks my ability to save. Has anyone completed that thought without any problems?
It's possibly a combination of multiple thoughts - other people have reported issues with the cabinet - and that one is just my tipping point.

I got stuck in the church questline bc interacting with the ice cream machine in the basement isn't working! I did a bug report so I'm hoping they can get to it soon, because I don't really want to stop playing.

I figured it out: somehow I managed to get the macguffin and print it out from elsewhere, so the quest progressed.

If you have high encyclopedia your character remembers the name Kimball and it turns out he hates pinball and delinquency because he spent a bunch of time undercover in a juvenile gang and he had to train for months to become a pinball master as part of it earning him the nickname of Kimball. It also explains why he really really does not want to be known as the ice bear cop

As far as I know, kicking it down is the only way in. I dont think its strictly required though.
